Overview A-Ret 0.05% Gel 20gm

Topical retinoid gel, A-Ret 0.05%, contains vitamin A and treats acne manifesting as pimples or spots on the face, chest, or back. It also refines rough skin texture and diminishes fine wrinkles by regulating sebum production. For optimal results, apply a small amount nightly to affected areas as directed by your physician. Treatment duration and dosage vary depending on your specific condition. Cleanse and dry the affected skin before applying a thin layer. Strictly adhere to your doctor's instructions. Avoid application to broken or irritated skin and contact with eyes, nose, and mouth. Visible improvement may take several weeks; consistent use is crucial. Consult your doctor if no improvement is seen after several weeks. Increasing frequency or dosage won't accelerate results and may worsen side effects. Common, usually mild, side effects include skin irritation, dryness, and redness, often subsiding with continued use. Hydration and moisturization are recommended, especially for mouth, lip, and eye dryness. Report persistent or bothersome side effects to your doctor. Serious side effects are uncommon. Increased sun sensitivity and skin fragility may occur, necessitating sun protection and avoidance of waxing or laser treatments. This medication is contraindicated for pregnant women or those planning pregnancy due to potential teratogenic effects.
